The element nickel shares its name with the American or Canadian 5 cent piece. This is because the coin was made out of that metal or its alloy. The element was named in 1751, by Baron Axel Fredrik Cronstedt who first isolated it. In the United States, the term "nickel" was first applied to coins in 1859.
